Today was a wild day in the college football world. Three top ten teams went down, and there was a few more big surprises in this day before the BCS polls come out.
Well the biggest upset, is that of the number one Buckeyes of Ohio St. The went into Camp Randall Stadium and let the double headed monster of John Clay and James White run all over them. It was a dominating victory for the Badgers, especially throughout the first half and fourth quarter. Ohio St. with Terrell Pryor leading the way mounted a small comeback and pulled the Buckeyes within striking distance but just could not capitalize. Pryor choked in the fourth quarter, just like I called in my earlier post. I would have really liked to see Bielema pull out the card and go for two against the Vest and really prove him a good one.
A huge shocker was that Mac Brown's Longhorn squad, who dropped two straight coming into this day, beat the number seven Nebraska CornHuskers. Every body had written this young Texas squad off and believed they did not stand a chance against this number seven team. Going back to last year, Texas snuck away with a final second(I mean one second) victory, that left Nebraska fans sour. Now with Nebraska's last chance for redemption, before they head to the Big-Ten, a game they had circled on their calenders a year ago just came out flat, and looking unmotivated. What the hell Bo Pelini? What happened to whipping the horns? Great job Mac for keeping your team motivated after dropping two straight.
Next was Kentucky beating number ten South Carolina. Going into this game Spurrier had never ever ever lost a game to the Wildcats, but that was all changed in the final minutes of tonights game. The Cocks had a nice sized lead throughout the game, but gave it away late. It was a twenty-four yard touchdown with a minute and fifteen seconds left that put the Cats ahead. With time for a final drive the ball was in Garcia's hands. He led his team to red-zone but through a pick in the endzone with six seconds left. What were you thinking boy!? You could have at least kicked a field goal for the tie and overtime. I can understand why you did it though, that little hate thing between you and Spurrier.
Finally, what has happened to Urban Meyer's squad? He just dropped three straight, the first two understandable coming from ranked teams. This lost to the Mississippi St. Bulldogs though, that can not happen. This team is suppose to be good, but losing to the bottom team of your conference, come on Urban coach them up, get a win for Gator Nation, that jean short wearing crowd needs it.
Enough for upsets, how bout the teams that proved themselves right before the BCS polls come out. Michigan St. won against an Illinois team when everyone picked them to lose. Wisconsin really helped Mich. St. out beating number one Ohio St. tonight. Oregon stayed idle as they had a bye week but also get help with the Ohio St. loss. Oregon will probably move to number one in the human polls for the first time in school history. Auburn really put on a show against Arkansas, started as shoot out ended as a high scoring blowout. Cam Newton or Newtzilla as I like to call him, man-handled that Arkansas-D by himself. Boise St. put a whipping on the week team they played today, but it was needed for them to secure a spot in the top five. LSU was a little surprising as they struggled against that unheard of team they played. But Les always like to keep his games interesting.
Today was a wild day in the college football world, but exciting and I enjoyed. Hopefully tomorrows BCS Polls are equally shocking, and exciting.
